Fab City Summit 2023

Held in Thimphu, Bhutan, the 2023 Summit pushed the network beyond 50 cities and strengthened its global footprint. The Digital Ecosystem Declaration launched alongside the first Fab City Awards, while the Fab Bhutan Challenge activated local innovation for social impact. Crossing the 50-city milestone signaled maturity and global relevance. Digital governance and ethical infrastructure became explicit pillars of the transition. Bhutan expanded Fab City’s narrative to include digital sovereignty, resilience, and cultural context.
